Christ Church Cathedral Voluntary Choir Prepares for First Service
Members of Christ Church Cathedral’s new Voluntary Choir are preparing for their first service on Sunday next, July 14. The choir has been auditioning over the last few weeks and would like to invite singers, particularly singers from the parishes of the Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough, to be a part of this exciting project. Some choral experience would be beneficial but training will be provided.
The Cathedral sees this as a chance to strengthen the links between the parishes and the Diocesan Cathedral and for singers from the parishes to become part of their thriving musical community. The choir’s musical focus will be on the Anglican choral repertoire and members of the Voluntary Choir will have the opportunity to explore this rich tradition and to be part of the beautiful Cathedral liturgy.
The choir will sing four services a year in the Cathedral. Each service will be preceded by four weeks of rehearsal; these will take place on Wednesdays 7pm – 9pm in the Cathedral Song School. The choir will be directed by Cathedral Assistant Organist, David Bremner.
There will be a very informal audition; this is simply to give an idea of the voice–type and level of experience of each singer and to give potential new members the chance to get to know the Cathedral music team.
To register interest, or to find out more information, please contact Assistant Organist David Bremner at david.bremner@cccdub.ie or (01) 6778099.
